4 Subnetting Classfull addressing inefficient Each local area network has a network number A company having several LANs needs to apply for several IP address Due to the explosive growth of the Internet, the use of assigned IP addresses became too inflexible to allow easy changes to local network configurations. These changes might occur when: A new physical network is installed at a location. Growth of the number of hosts requires splitting the local network into two or more separate networks. The classful IP addressing restricts the flexibility of address allocation and may waste IP address space. Classless IP addressing Solution was to partition large networks internally into subnetworks (subnets)- classless IP addressing Typically class C (8 bit host part) sized subnets although variable length subnets used too Network Part "Subnet" Part "Real" Host Part "Effective" Host Part <network number>< host number > <network number><subnet number><host number> Classful Addressing and Classless Addressing Classful Addressing In a classful addressing scheme, division between network and host portion always take place at the octet boundaries. Classless Addressing In a classless addressing scheme, division between network and host portion can take place at arbitrary bit boundaries. NetMask Divide an IP address into subnets and specify the networks available hosts. The mask contains 1's for the bit positions in the 32-bit address which are to be used for the network and subnet parts, and 0's for the host part. Address format: a.b.c.d/x, where x is # bits in network portion of address 200.23.26.0/23 NetMask Exmaples For one B class network 166.111.0.0, netmask is 255. 255. 0. 0 Network 166. 111. 0. 0 = Address 10100110. 01101111. 00000000. 00000000 Network 11111111. 11111111. 00000000. 00000000 Mask = 255. 255. 0. 0 If we borrow 5 bits from host as subnet, netmask becomes 255. 255. 248. 0 Network 166. 111. 0. 0 = Address 10100110. 01101111. 00000000. 00000000 Network 11111111. 11111111. 11111000. 00000000 Mask = 255. 255. 248. 0 Determining Local and Remote Hosts Example 12 A Remote Local Hosts D 192.168.1.100 192.168.2.100 B E 192.168.2.100 C Subnet F Mask

IP datagram size=65535 bytes Identification Identify the datagram a fragment belongs to All the fragments of a datagram contain the same identification value Header (continued) Time to live (TTL) Limit packet lifetime prevents looping Supposed to measure the time a datagram has been in the Internet Initialized by sender to some value (255 sec) Decremented on each hop, decremented multiple times when queued for a long time in a router In practice, it counts hops When TTL=0, the datagram is discarded, and an ICMP warning message is sent to source IP datagram purging - TTL Header (continued) TTL=4 TTL=3 TTL=2 TTL=1 TTL=0 Protocol Identifies the next-layer protocol above the IP that is to receive the datagram at the final host destination, e.g., TCP, UDP and other Defined by IANA (Internet Assigned Number Authority) Online database at: http://www.iana.org/(rfc 1700) 1 ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol 2 IGMP Internet Group Message Protocol 3 GGP Gateway to Gateway Protocol 6 TCP Transport Control Protocol 9 IGP Interior Gateway Protocol 17 UDP User Datagram Protocol
9 Header (continued) Header checksum Detect errors in the header (header only) Source address (32 bits) Destination address (32 bits) Data: From TCP or other protocol IP Fragmentation A datagram may need to travel across many types of physical networks as it moves across an Internet Different networks have different max. frame size (MTU: maximum transfer unit): X.25: 1024 bytes, Ethernet: 1500 bytes Transmission unit = IP datagram (data+header) All machines are required to accept fragments of 576 bytes or less Any datagram larger than the MTU is fragmented The data portion of each fragment, except the last one, must be a multiple of 8 bytes Original header is copied to each fragment and then modified Some option fields are copied IP Header Original Datagram IP Hdr 1 Data 1 IP Hdr 2 Data 2 IP Hdr 3 Data 3 Fragmentation and reassembly IP Datagram Fragmentation Each fragment (packet) has the same structure as the IP datagram. IP specifies that datagram reassembly is done only at the destination (not on a hop-by-hop basis). If any of the fragments are lost - the entire datagram is discarded (and an ICMP message is sent to the sender). If an error is found (header checksum problem) the packet is discarded and an ICMP message is sent to the sender. Example of two fragments Reassembly Initial IP datagram More bit (M) = 0 Offset (OS) = 0 After fragmentation First Frag More bit (M) = 1 Offset (OS) = 0 After fragmentation Second Frag More bit (M) = 0 Offset (OS) = 400/8 = 50 Reassembly only at the final destination Partial datagrams are discarded after a timeout Fragments can be further fragmented along the path. Subfragments have a format similar to fragments. To reassemble a fragment, the destination must obtain all fragments starting the with the one with offset 0 through the fragment with highest offset The fragment with the highest offset will have it MF set to 0

All hosts and routers must be able to handle the ICMP messages, an integral part of IP ICMP is an error reporting mechanism. IP layer Software must take action to handle the possible action on its own Utility Ping uses ICMP to detect the reachablity and delay between nodes in the network Router use ICMP to send error and control message
11 ICMP Packet Format Length of the packet varies with type of message Type : type of message Checksum: Calculated on entire message Information: Varies with message type Frame header IP header May not be used Error messages( response to bad datagram) IP header plus 8 following octets ICMP message Message Type Examples Message type = 0 Echo reply = 3 Destination unreachable = 4 Source quench = 5 Redirect ( change route ) = 8 Echo request = 11 Time exceeded for a datagram = 12 Parameter problem on a datagram = 13 Timestamp request = 14 Timestamp reply = 15 Information request (obsolete) = 16 Information reply (obsolete) = 17 Address mask request = 18 Address mask reply ICMP Message Delivery ICMP message requires two levels of encapsulation ICMP Error Message ICMP utilizes IP, but considered to be at same level in Protocol stack. ICMP message are carried in IP packet with Protocol field = 1 Message type: destination unreachable (Type=3) Always contains the IP header and the first 64 bits of the IP datagram that caused the ICMP error to be generated For the receiver to associate the message with one particular protocol (TCP or UDP) and a particular user (port number) Code number (0~15) specifies the more detailed reason of the error 16 kind of errors ICMP Message Error Type Message code = 0 Network unreachable = 1 Host unreachable = 2 protocol unreachable = 3 port unreachable = 4 Must fragment, but DF set = 5 Source route failed = 6 destination network unknown = 7 destination host unknown = 8 source host isolated (obsolete) = 9 destination network administratively prohibited = 10 destination host administratively prohibited = 11 network unreachable for this type of service = 12 host unreachable for this type of service = 13 communication administratively prohibited by filtering = 14 host precedence violation = 15 precedence cutoff in effect ICMP Echo reply Used by processors to test whether a destination is alive and reachable Example : ping hostname Format as show below TYPE = 8 ( request ) or 0 ( reply ) IDENTIFER / SEQUENCE NUMBER: used by sender to match replies to request DATA: Optional further matching information ( returned by the sender)

Considered to be the layer 2 protocol RFC826 Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol: Converting Network Protocol Addresses to 48.bit Ethernet Address for Transmission on Ethernet Hardware. D.C. Plummer. Nov-01-1982. The Address Resolution Problem Node A Send an arp request packet asking for the destination s (node B) MAC address by giving the IP address of node B Receiver (node B) response an arp packet to node A Example of arp command ARP -s inet_addr eth_addr [if_addr] ARP -d inet_addr [if_addr] ARP -a [inet_addr] [-N if_addr] -a Displays current ARP entries by interrogating the current protocol data. If inet_addr is specified, the IP and Physical addresses for only the specified computer are displayed. If more than one network interface uses ARP, entries for each ARP table are displayed. -g Same as -a. inet_addr Specifies an internet address. -N if_addr Displays the ARP entries for the network interface specified by if_addr. -d Deletes the host specified by inet_addr. -s Adds the host and associates the Internet address inet_addr with the Physical address eth_addr. The Physical address is given as 6 hexadecimal bytes separated by hyphens. The entry is permanent. eth_addr Specifies a physical address. if_addr If present, this specifies the Internet address of the interface whose address translation table should be modified. If not present, the first applicable interface will be used.
14 Resolution Through Direct Mapping Static ARP table Configured by the system administrator Fast translation... Resolution Through Dynamic Binding The ARP allows a host to find the physical address of a target host on the same physical network by given its IP address. The Address Resolution Cache Cache the dynamic IP / MAC binding Reduce broadcast traffic Enhance the efficiency of the ARP operation Maintains the recent mappings from IP addresses to the hardware addresses Time dependent Small cache is worthwhile arp -a Proxy ARP Proxy ARP is a technique in which one machine, usually a router, answers ARP requests intended for another machine. By "faking" its identity, the router accepts responsibility for routing packets to the "real" destination. Proxy ARP allows a site to use a single IP address with two physical networks. Subnetting would normally be a better solution. ARP: Example 1 If host 1 wants to send a packet to host 2 Host 1 finds the IP address of host 2: 192.31.65.5 IP software on host 1 determines that the destination is on its own network To find the Ethernet address of the destination: host 1 broadcasts an ARP request Host 2 responds with its Ethernet address (E2) Host 1 builds an Ethernet frame addressed to E2, puts the IP packet in the payload field, and broadcasts it onto the Ethernet Ethernet card on host 2 detects this frame, recognizes it as a frame for itself, scoops it up, processes it and passes it to IP software Host 1 broadcast ARP request Host 2 responds with its Ethernet Address ARP: Example 2 If host 1 wants to send a packet to host 4 Host 4 and host 1 are on different network: host 4 will not respond to ARP request Solution Proxy ARP: CS router responds to ARP request for network 192.31.63.0. Host 1 makes an ARP entry of (192.31.63.8, E3) and send all traffic for host 4 to the local router Similarly, host 1 packs the IP address into the payload of an Ethernet frame addressed to E3 Host 1 broadcast ARP request CS router responds with its Ethernet Address (E3) Host 4 will not respond
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) Translate from physical address to IP address RARP / ARP reversed operation RARP operation Host A broadcast a request asking for a IP address Server B reply Host A with the IP address assigned to it Multiple RARP server may be available for redundancy Host A may works in two modes: endless sending request till answer returned when timed out, manually restart its request RFC0903 Reverse Address Resolution Protocol.

Jun-01-1984 RARP Application Agenda Machine obtains its IP address from a configuration file on the disk during bootup time RARP is used for diskless stations to obtain their IP addresses TCP/IP and Internet Internet Address Internet Layer Protocols IP Protocol ICMP Protocol ARP/RARP Protocol Mobile IP Mobility and Standard IP Routing By design, IP host address is tied to home network address Hosts are assumed to be wired, immobile Intermediate routers look only at network address Mobility without a change in IP address results in unrouteable packets What if a user wants to roam between networks? Mobile users don t want to know that they are moving between networks What if mobile users change IP when running an application? Design of Mobile IP Mobile IP was developed as a means for transparently dealing with problems of mobile users Enables hosts to stay connected to the Internet regardless of their location Enables hosts to be tracked without needing to change their IP address No changes to software of non-mobile hosts/routers Addition of some infrastructure No geographical limitations No modifications to IP addresses or IP address format Security Could be even more important than physically connected routing 92 CS 640 93 CS 640 15
16 Mobile IP Basics Proposed by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) Standards development body for the Internet Mobile IP allows a mobile host to move about without changing its permanent IP address Each mobile host has a home agent on its home network Mobile host establishes a care-of address when it's away from home 94 Mobile IP Mobile Node (MN) Correspondent Node (CN) Home Agent (HA) 95 Mobile IP Summary TCP/IP and Internet IP classful address IP classless address Subnet Mask IP address configuration IP protocol ICMP protocol ARP/RARP protocol IPv6 will be discussed next To be continued Thank you!
